About This Assessment

This self-assessment checklist helps you evaluate your business's security measures across six categories: Physical Security, Data Protection, Employee Training, Incident Response, Vendor Management, and Compliance. Check off items you have in place, then generate a report showing your gaps and recommended next steps.

Unlike our Security Survey (which asks scored questions), this checklist provides a simple yes/no audit of specific security measures. It's ideal for creating an action plan of specific items to implement.
